Lovin' Summer

Summer afternoon - summer afternoon; to me those have always been
the two most beautiful words in the English language. ~Henry James

Olivia & Audrey have had a bustling summer thus far... and we're not even two weeks in! Liv has been in Hip Hop camp and Cheerleading camp (here she is below helping teach a cheer to her fellow campers). I popped in earlier today only to find her at the head of the class with her coach--no kidding. ;)

She has also been in swim lessons and her gymnastics pre-team schedule started yesterday (she can barely walk today after her 2 hour lesson).

Audrey has been in Fairy Dance camp and swim lessons and if she could never leave the pool she'd be in heaven.

They spend a few hours each afternoon with their summer time nanny--Lauren. The three of them cruise off in her convertible and hit Coldstone Creamery, the mall, the beach, and even the movies!

In the midst of all the camps, classes, and afternoon adventures we took a weekend jaunt to Portland, Oregon for my cousin, Matt's, wedding. He and his darling bride, Hailey, looked like Ken & Barbie as they exchanged vows on the golf course setting. May there lives together be as idyllic as their wedding day.

Eric and I managed a night out sans kids thanks to Matt's little sis and my 17 year old cousin, Annie. Portland rocks---the people, the food, the drinks, the mind set, the public transportation---it is by far one of our favorite places to visit.

Hope your summertime is footloose and fancy free, lazy as can be, and most of all filled with Summer Lovin'!
